Detailed explanation-1: -A manipulated variable, also known as an independent variable, is a part of an experiment that you can change to see how other variables respond. Here are the three types of variables in an experiment: Manipulated variable: The variable that you control and change based on the experiment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Experimental manipulation describes the process by which researchers purposefully change, alter, or influence the independent variables (IVs), which are also called treatment variables or factors, in an experimental research design.
Detailed explanation-3: -Manipulation of the Independent Variable Again, to manipulate an independent variable means to change its level systematically so that different groups of participants are exposed to different levels of that variable, or the same group of participants is exposed to different levels at different times.
Detailed explanation-4: -Manipulation means that something is purposefully changed by the researcher in the environment. Control is used to prevent outside factors from influencing the study outcome. When something is manipulated and controlled and then the outcome happens, it makes us more confident that the manipulation “caused” the outcome.
Detailed explanation-5: -Scientists use an experiment to search for cause and effect. There are many items that could be altered to test the reaction of another. These changing quantities are called variables.
